Terminalia. decandria monogynia. 433 



In this garden they blossom in April and May, and 

 ripen their seed the followinj^ March. 



Trunk straight. Branches sub-verticelled, horizontal. 

 Bark pretty smooth, and of a dark brown colour, height 

 of the whole tree about fitly feet. Leaves alternate, short- 

 petioled, oblong, obtuse, entire, smooth on both sides, 

 beautifully reticulated with minute veins, while young 

 coloured and villous, from two to twelve inches long, and 

 broad in proportion. Petioles scarcely one-fourth the length 

 of the leaves, round, smooth, without glands, and this is 

 the only species of the genus, I have yet met with, that is 

 so, and in this it differs from T. helerica. Spikes axillary, 

 solitary, shorter than the leaves. FloLvers numerous, of 

 a dull yellowish brown colour, and rather offensive smell. 

 Male towards the apex, and the hermaphrodite below. 

 Calyx flat, with the apices of the five divisions revolute, 

 villous on the outside, and woolly within. Filaments 

 ten, twice or more longer than the calyx. Germ and 

 style in the male small, and abortive, in the hermaphro- 

 dite larger and longer. Drupe round-obovate, some- 

 what villous, size of a large nutmeg. Nut the shape of the 

 drupe, slightly five-grooved, from the apex to the base. 



For some time I gave this species the trivial name 

 eglandulosa ; a specimen so named must have fallen into 

 Willdenovv's hand to have enabled him to quote me for 

 that name, ^ee his edition of the species, vol. 4. p. 988. 



5. T. chehula. Willd. 4. 969. 



Leaves sub-opposite, oblong, villous underneath, 

 glands on the margins and petioles. Spikes terminal, 

 often panicled. Drupe oval, smooth.
